3.2 Using a Logic Level Output

If the data system uses negative true logic level output, connect the green wire
(GROUND) to the Logic Ground of the data system relay. Connect the red wire
(LOAD) to one output of the relay and the black wire (INJECT) to the other output.
Turning the relay off will switch the actuator to LOAD and turning it on will switch it
to INJECT. If the operations are reversed, simply switch the connection of the red
and black wires.

3.3 Using the Output from the Actuator

The white and clear wires can perform either of two functions, depending on the
setting of the dipswitch on the circuit board. The factory setting is for the Inject
Contact Closure mode.

3.31

Inject Contact Closure

In this mode, which is the factory default, the white and clear wires provide a
contact closure when the actuator moves to the INJECT position. (The closure is
approximately two seconds long.) It may also be used to "spike" a recorder or to
start any device equipped with a remote contact closure input.

3.32

Positive Position Feedback

To change the setting on the dipswitch, follow Steps 1-4 in Section 6.21, Actuator
Conversion, Disassembly
. The dipswitch is on the board next to the connections
for the manual switching cable. (See Drawing 21312, page 23.) In this mode, the
clear wire carries a logic high when the actuator is in the Position A (LOAD): the
white wire carries a high when the actuator in is Position B (INJECT).
